stability first... exploration later
Why are ADHD entrepreneurs so unstable?
We often think we can address stability later—after we’ve hit certain milestones or goals.
The truth? Without a solid foundation, everything else is at risk of crumbling.
When you're faced with
👉 Moving parts
👉 Unpredictable changes
👉 The daily chaos that comes with being your own boss.
It’s nearly impossible to grow your business sustainably.
And for ADHDers.
This instability compounds our symptoms so we end up:
👉 more stressed
👉 burnt out
👉 feeling unstable.
ADHD brains are wired to jump from one idea to the next.
But without stability, that'll find you going in circles instead of making real progress.
✨ Stability isn’t boring though; it frees up mental bandwidth you need to execute on all those amazing ideas.
Here's how I help my clients build stability:
We focus on creating something super simple called the minimum viable structure.
Do it right now.
Pick one area whether its organization for a certain project, or finances for your whole business, and create a super simple system around it.
Keyword: simple.
Don't overengineer, just create something that will give you stability in that area.
(It could be downloading a Notion template, something simple on a Miro board, or even just a table in your notepad)
